Considered his request, the apex court advanced the hearing in the case to Tuesday from Thursday.
In the post-lunch session, Mehta appeared before a bench of justices R Banumathi and A S Bopanna and said the order passed earlier in the day would cause jurisdictional difficulty in its implementation.
Taking note of the submissions, the bench said CBI is at liberty to move the trial court for Chidambaram's police custody till Tuesday.
It said it will hear on Tuesday Chidambaram's plea challenging the non-bailable warrent (NBW) against him and remand orders of the trial court in the INX Media case.
In the pre-lunch session, the bench asked the trial court to consider Chidambaram's request for interim bail in the case after the former finance minister said that he not be sent to Tihar jail under judicial custody and offered to be in house arrest.
The apex court said if Chidambaram's request for interim bail is not considered by the trial court on Monday itself, his CBI custody would be extended by three more days.

Chidambaram's CBI custody in the INX Media corruption case is expiring today and he will be produced before the concerned trial court during the day.
Chidambaram has been in judicial custody since August 21 for his alleged involvement in irregularities in granting of Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approval to INX Media during his term as Finance minister.
According to the ED officials, he has been arrested under sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and will be produced before the court later in the day.
Officials said that the ED will demand Congress leader's custodial interrogation to confront him with the evidences gathered in the case so far.
They said he will be asked questions related to kickbacks received by shell companies allegedly floated by his son Karti Chidambaram.
The ED has earlier informed the court that it had identified about two dozen foreign bank accounts, which were used to park kickbacks received from illegal favours granted by the former minister.
The officials said the financial probe agency was in possession of several email exchanges indicating communication between front companies where both senior and junior Chidambaram were the beneficiary owners.
They also said the Congress leader will be confronted with the statements given by at least 13 witnesses, including his private secretary, in the case.
Chidambaram was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in INX media case on August 21 after 24-hour long drama. From the CBI custody, he was sent to judicial custody and the CBI court on Tuesday allowed the ED to question him in the case
However, he will remain in Enforcement Directorate custody as he is still under arrest in the INX Media money laundering case.
The order was delivered by a bench of Justices R. Banumathi, A.S. Bopanna and Hrishikesh Roy, which directed him not to leave the country without permission.
The court also directed Chidambaram to furnish a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and two sureties of like amount each.
On October 18, the court had reserved its order on the former minister's plea.
The CBI had opposed Chidambaram's bail plea, saying that he had tried to "pressurise and influence" key witnesses in the INX Media case.
Chidambaram was arrested on August 21, and is currently lodged in Tihar Jail in judicial custody.
The CBI has on Friday chargesheeted him with the other accused in the INX Media corruption case.
